The confidence of a strong, secure shoulder repair begins with ULTRABRAID^◊Suture. This non-absorbable suture is composed of a special ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene fiber and features a unique braid configuration. As a result, ULTRABRAID^◊Suture offers special advantages over traditional polyester suture, including higher knot breaking strength, increased lubricity, and a stronger resistance to fraying¹. ULTRABRAID^◊Suture is preloaded on all TWINFIX^◊ Suture Anchor that have #2 sutures.

In addition to the ULTRABRAID^◊Suture, TWINFIX^◊Suture Anchors have a patented Hi-Lo thread geometry to help attain consistent failure loads in all types of bone quality.

TWINFIX^◊ AB Suture Anchors also provide a tapered body that is mated to the dilator to reduce insertion torque, thereby helping to minimize anchor breakage. Suture eyelets are located deeper in the anchor body to reduce suture eyelet failure under cyclic loading.

Titanium and Absorbable Anchors

TWINFIX^◊ Ti Suture Anchors provide secure fixation with a wide range of sizes to match various applications and bone qualities. Anchor cores are matched to the drill size to facilitate insertion while maximizing fixation strength

For arthroscopic or mini-open shoulder procedures, trust the strength and security of TWINFIX^◊ Suture Anchors with ULTRABRAID^{^◊}Suture.
